League of Legends is a game based off of a popular Warcraft 3 mod called Defense of the Ancients. Basically, each team has 5 people who pick a hero. This hero gains levels, and gets 4 spells to fight with. The goal is to push into the enemies base and destroy their main building. How is this done? Well every 30 seconds monsters are sent out of your base into 3 lanes. You attack with these monsters to destroy the enemy towers to push into the main base. However, it isn't that easy. You'll also be facing enemy heroes in the lanes whose trying to do the same exact thing you are. So how do you get the upper hand on them? Kill them. The game isn't about a K:D ratio, so all killing a enemy does is deny him the experience/gold he needs to level up and get stronger. So normally, you don't attack to kill. You attack to hurt them enough so they can't stay in the lane to gather experience/gold. I find that it's a fun game that every one should try at least once.

I have decided that I'm going to make at least 2-3 posts a day on various things I might find, my (terrible) opinions on games, and anything else I may find relevant. If you ever need to contact me for whatever reason, I'll be finding a way to get that information to be viewable at all times. So if you could stick with me while I get used to this whole blogging thing, I promise you I'll get better.

So, I play a game called "League of Legends" for a few hours every day. If you ever heard of DotA, that's pretty much what it is. However, it also has the same type of people. Do one thing wrong? Enjoy insults directed at your mother. Sure you meet a decent person every now and then, but it seems like most of the players are people whose lives depend on the game. Losing a game means that their world just blew up.

That said, it still is fun and is even more fun with 4 friends. I guess if you want to play, join at the following link.
